I think I've seen posts in the past mentioning that getting the properties

just how many are missing.

I've only been working with getting the properties of a stack but here's
just a partial list of missing properties:

mainStack
systemWindow
Just about all the color/pattern properties (foregroundcolor,
foregroundPattern, etc)
location
textalign

Is there any reliable way of getting a complete list of the properties
associated with an object?

The only ones listed are the ones that can't be derived from the primaries. I.e., loc, height, width, etc can be determined from the rect. Mainstack can be determined from the long name. Specific colors and patterns can be derived from the colors and patterns properties. Not sure about text properties but there's probably something.
